One single raid?

Sounds like they just kept the Brits from using it.

iirc mainly industrial targets (possibly involved with aircraft production ?). a more significant strategic reason was probably to try and split the english aerial defenses, and prevent the British from assigning all of their forces to the south

Maybe not the best link. Scapa Flow was the main British naval base. If you think of North atlantic convoys - think Scapa Flow

Simple answer: the english coastal shipping and convoys. When talking about the BoB, one has to keep always in mind that cutting off England from supplies was a major part of the strategy. The BoB started with air raids against shipping as early as May 40, and although industrial targets and aerodromes were targetted later on, the raids against shipping never stopped during the BoB, and even after.

Concerning Bombers from Norway, the Luftwaffe also attacked industrial targets in Northern England.

Distilleries

Nah,IDK.Any aircraft/tank/handweapons/ship/guns factory located there?
Or maybe the northern part of GB was easier for an invasion.

There were raids across the North Sea. Not really many, because there were no fighters with the range to support the bombers, and there was radar up there, so they did get intercepted. The weather was often bad enough to make both accurate bombing and interception difficult.
